The Topsfield School Committee notes that in 2027 the Topsfield Elementary Schools plan to submit a Statement of Interest (SOI) to the Massachusetts School Building Authority (MSBA) for a window replacement project at Proctor School. MSBA may cover 40–50% of project costs, and if the project is accepted, the district would then seek Town Meeting funding first for engineering and design and later for full construction of the window work. This is early-stage capital planning: no design firm or construction vendor has been selected, and the ability to secure MSBA reimbursement hinges on a strong SOI and later Town Meeting approvals.This creates a medium‑term opportunity for architecture/engineering firms, owner’s project managers, and building systems vendors specializing in school envelope and energy-efficiency projects to help shape scope and cost estimates. A productive next conversation would focus on supporting the SOI development, pre-design assessments, and setting up a phasing and funding strategy acceptable to both MSBA and the Town.

Failure of Town Meeting funding after MSBA acceptance would cause the town to lose MSBA reimbursement for the project.
